Audi Field

Audi Field in Washington, D.C.'s Buzzard Point neighborhood is the home of D.C. United and the stadium that brought MLS back to the nation's capital with a soccer-first design. The steep seating bowl and dedicated supporters sections create an intimate atmosphere along the Anacostia River waterfront, with the Barra Brava and Screaming Eagles driving chants from the north end. Its urban infill location represents the league's shift toward city-center venues rather than suburban parking-lot stadiums. Match nights tie into the District's growing waterfront development.

Audi Field opened in 2018, ending D.C. United's long residency at RFK Stadium's crumbling expanse. It hosted the 2019 MLS All-Star Game and multiple U.S. Open Cup finals, validating the Buzzard Point site after years of political and financial negotiation. The stadium's design by Populous prioritized supporter culture and pedestrian access from the Navy Yard metro stop. Audi's naming deal tied the venue to a brand with deep European football roots.
